Gaiscioch Community News February, 2019
- Let's Get Mobile!
This past month I deployed our new navigation system and updated a few of the more trafficked pages on our site. While our site is nowhere near 100% mobile friendly it is a constant path I plan to be moving over the next year. We have 16 years of code to update so it's going to be a bit of an undertaking, but the navigation was the first step to allow us to enter the glorious mobile world. It also adds some pretty nifty features to help organize our site for easy browsability.

- Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr Announced!
In the biggest news to come to ESO since last year's Summerset expansion, Elsweyr is primed to continue the tradition of introducing a new chapter every year. This time Zenimax is bringing a year worth of content to the game along with it. Titled the "Season of the Dragon" this year long adventure is going to be periodically released to tell a continuing story much like the Living Story of Guild Wars 2. In addition Elsweyr brings the Necromancer class to the game along with a new Trial, and plenty of new adventures waiting to be had. The first of the Season of the Dragon DLC's is expected soon with the new chapter releasing in June. Learn more at: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/updates/chapter/elsweyr

- February Guild Hall Upgrade Quest
This month we are making a hard push to grow the 3 core room guild halls. We are working toward having all Crafting Materials up to Tier 5 and unlock all of the Auras for WvW objectives. This is quite a massive undertaking and will require a whole lot of help from the community. This month we will be focusing on Unlocking the WvW Auras. If you can check your banks and see if any of these you can help us with it would be a tremendous step forward. Send all donations to Foghladha.2506 for donation credit.

- Join us at the Summit for a Look at new Adventures
At this months Summit I'll be showing some trailers from some of our newest adventures. We've got some pretty cool games announced over the last quarter and some surprises in store. It seems the industry is trying to find that next big thing and many studios are looking to "make a lasting experience, not a cash grab". The past few years have been laced with quick buy-2-play early access, then the studio just moves on to the next thing. These quick cash grabs have decimated the number of people who are even willing to support a title before launch and more so have driven the financial gains away from the studios who actually need it and have long term plans.

- New Platforms & Tools
Over the past few months and I've been exploring streaming in other creative places. Select streams have been broadcast over Periscope, Facebook, and Steam during the past couple months. These non-traditional platforms have yielded some interesting results and we've actually had some good feedback come through. I have also made the switch from Restream.io to Castr for multi-broadcasting. With the new PC and new tools, I've been able to improve bitrate and bring a higher quality stream to life. Now the final step of this whole process is getting my studio in order to finally use my camera. Guess after 4 years it's safe to unpack the boxes :). After moving 6 times in 3 years it's hard to feel rooted. Rest assured you will see Fog soon with my many hats and awesome cats.

- Great Tyrian Adventure
Lots of fun and loot to be held plus running around chasing our esteemed leader without dying was a bonus!
- Amazing group of Guildies
This squad performed admirably. They stayed back and assisted each other when someone got tripped up and couldn't join us at the next fight. The mesmers dropped portals when they were needed. This event succeeded because everyone pitched in and helped out.
